AT ABOUT 3 MONTHS I STARTED LOSING LOTS AND LOTS OF hair. WHAT WAS WORSE WAS THAT IT WAS IN THE FRONT WHERE EVERYONE CAN SEE. I WAS SO FREAKED OUT ABOUT MY Hair loss I WENT TO MY DOCTOR TO SEE WHAT I CAN DO. FIRST THING HE ASKED IS IF I TAKE ALL MY VITAMINS....WELL THAT WAS A NEGATIVE. I WASN'T TAKING THEM ON A REGULAR BASIS BECAUSE THEY'D MAKE ME FEEL SICK. I STARTED TAKING THEM RELIGIOUSLY AND ADDED Biotin. MY HAIR HAS BEEN GROWING OUT NOW, AND I DON'T LOSE AS MUCH HAIR.

***SO THE KEY IS TO MAKE SURE YOU TAKE ALL YOUR Vitamins EVERY SINGLE DAY***

Or just shave the whole lot off. Was sick of having hair anyway and this was just an excuse to finally be rid of it.

I'm glad you started taking your Vitamins, but they weren't the cause of the Hair loss. The surgery causes it. Starts around 3 months postop and goes until 7-12 months postop.

It's just a coincidence in your timing. But, hey, if it got you taking vitamins!

Oh wow. I am so sorry. I really hope I don't lose my hair. I'm two weeks post op. I have extremely long hair. I'm already focusing on getting in my Protein and Vitamins because I'm very attached to my hair. My doctor said try to get a minimum of 60 grams of protein to avoid Hair loss. Hair is made of protein so it makes sense.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
